I'm about midway through the first season, and I'm blown away by it. Created by Sopranos' writer Matthew Weiener, the show follows the fictitious Sterling Cooper advertising agency, in the middle of its heyday, back in 1959.
granted, I wasn't around in 1959, but from what i've read, the show is incredibly authentic in its set design, mannerisms, and most importantly, the advertising of the day. People back then cared about futuristic things like shaving cream from a can...or if the Russians were coming.
This show is absolutely fantastic, and I highly recommend it. It picked up a Golden Globe (Best Actor) and was nominated for Best Dramatic Show.....so the experts are in line too.....
Season 1 dvd comes out july1....
